Novartis Capital Corporation, fully guaranteed by Novartis AG, launched a multi‑tranche U.S. dollar notes offering. The deal includes $800,000,000 floating‑rate notes due November 5, 2028, plus fixed‑rate tranches of $700,000,000 at 3.900% due 2028, $1,750,000,000 at 4.100% due 2030, $925,000,000 at 4.300% due 2032, $925,000,000 at 4.600% due 2035, $350,000,000 at 5.200% due 2045, and $550,000,000 at 5.300% due 2055.

Novartis may redeem the fixed‑rate notes at its option as described, and both the fixed and floating tranches may be redeemed for certain tax reasons.
